ByteDance, BYD launch AI lab for batteries

BYD has partnered with ByteDance's Seed and Volcano Engine teams to co-develop lithium batteries using AI, launching a joint lab to accelerate breakthroughs in fast-charging, lifespan, and safety. The tie-up builds on BYD’s use of ByteDance’s BAMBOO framework, which helped optimize electrolytes for its new megawatt fast-charging battery by cutting trial-and-error cycles and speeding development.
